Hypoglycemia meal test
Common Questions and Answers about Hypoglycemia meal test
hypoglycemia
Without proper testing results one assumption is you experienced reactive hypoglycemia. Reactive hypoglycemia [or alimentary hypoglycemia] is low glucose [blood sugar] that occurs after a meal — usually one to three hours after eating.
Try the following:
• Eat several small meals and snacks throughout the day, no more than three hours apart.
• Eat a well-balanced diet including lean and nonmeat sources of protein and high-fiber foods including whole grains, fruit and vegetables.
what is the ratio of protein to carbrohydrate that should should be comsumed per meal each day, also for snacks?
She over the last few months has started to feel light headed or foggy after EVERY meal. No matter how much or how little she eats. And its EVERY meal. It starts about 15 to 20 min after she eats. We have tried to change what she eats and nothing changes. We try to cut out differant things yet it still happens. Its so bad that it is hurting her at work because after lunch she gets fogy and can not focus on what she is trying to do.
This could possibly be a condition known as Hypoglycemia and is definitely worth asking your doctor about. Hypoglycemia occurs around two hours after a high carb meal. The pancreas over secretes insulin due to the rapid rise in the blood sugar and then the low blood sugar results. I would definitely have this studied further. Have a wonderful day.
t matter what I eat, 4, 3, even sometimes just 2 hours later, my blood sugar has been falling to symptomatic levels, even if the prior meal is solid with proteins, carbs, etc.
Plus, if that isn't enough, for the same amount of time, even when my blood sugar registers as normal (I do have a home meter), I am constantly feeling sickly... hard to explain, but I seem to have ..
This will keep your blood sugar steady throughout the day, without cycling up and down. Best meal plan for this is LCHF, which basically resembles VEGETABLE + PROTEIN (meat/fish/egg) + FAT. Make sure fat is from natural sources, like olive oil, avocado, butter, coconut, etc, and not the fake stuff like margarine.
i had a gtt test done i fasted and my starting blood sugar was 90 it was a 3 hour test but i dont know full results all i know is when i went home i tested my sugar and it was 65.........they called and said i have hypoglycemia but they never said what kind.....plus when i get my muscle pain and nausea i test it on my glucose meter and im always around 100 so im not gettin what is going on ....cause low blood sugar is considered under 70 at least ......they sending me to a specialist??
I have seen cardiologist who has done echo, stess test, holter, ect and claims this is anxiety. I dont feel like this is just anxiety and have been researching the internet trying to find an answer.
My question is....could this be a symtpom of hypoglycemia? I have done some reading, and it sounds like it might be. Could sugar and white flour or alcohol be causing this? The rapid heart rate and anxiety last about 15 minutes....
m assuming you are relatively recently diagnosed though, so testing is also an opportunity to learn more about your own particular version of this disease. You can test to see how different foods affect your blood sugar (two hours after a meal). This gives you valuable information about what does and doesn't work well for you. You can also test if you think your blood sugar might be low.
My sis-in-law is hypoglycemic too!! How are you feeling when you have a count in the 70's or 80's??? Do you have any of these symptoms...shaking, sweating, confusion, weakness?? If so, experiment with Orange juice or grape juice or whatever juice you prefer...drink 4 ounces and wait 10-15 minutes and check your count again...depending on which lab you have your blood work done, the normal range is either 70-110 or 80-120...
Hypoglycemia (Low Blood sugar) is a form of Diabetes. The other Form is Hyperglycemia (High Blood sugar). So yes you are Diabetic.
This confusion is common, for the medications that most people are put on to treat diabetes can cause hypoglycemia if overdosed or if the patient delays a meal or perhaps does not eat the usual amount of carbohydrates in a normal meal. So diabetics can and do suffer from hypoglycemia.
How much the sugar varies from before meal to after meal seems to be the issue here. The glucose tolerance test is the correct test to see how your body reacts to high levels of carbohydrates. It does sound to me as if you perhaps vary more than is ideal, for a low of 57 or high of 256 is something that even diabetics try to avoid.
When my daughter was on shots if she wanted to sleep late I would get up test her blood and give her insulin, or she would test eat and g back top bed. That is one reason we switched to the insulin pump so that she did not have to have a regimented lifestyle.
I would suggest talking with your doctor and see how much of a time span he says your daughter can go with out check from her normal time.
Hi
In 1957 I probably had an autoimmune reaction (think what happens when you get type 1 diabetes). In 1964 I took a glucose tolerance test because I get hypoglycemia many hours after eating too much sugar/starch/alchol (S). It was
70 1/2 hr 130 1 hr 175 2 hr 185 extended 3 hr 100 very minor low sugar episode about 4 hr. (no reading). My A1C has been about 6 since the test has been invented. My highest fasting blood sugar has been 90. Am I prediabetic?
I was also prescribed Lexapro, Lamictal, and Welbutrin for dystymia and anxiety. I recently taperd off the Lexapro. I now have all the symptoms of hypoglycemia: tingling in lips (its constant, no break) and dizziness at just the slightest turn of the head, heart rate that is averaging 100 beats per minute (this has been constant not in little bursts for about three days now), and tightness in the chest/lung area, slight muscular type pain during deep breathing (also for about 5 days now).

Last meal dinner. You don't fast awake. Then in the morning you start test. If the test comes back high you may have gestational diabetes putting you at risk for having a big baby and hypoglycemia if you don't not control it. Don't worry with diet most people are fine.
Endo was noticing too many "lows" logged two hours after meal. She asked if I felt symptoms, and I said "yes". I have worked for 25 years in busy, high stress jobs, traveled, etc...always monitoring bg and adjusting glucose intake as needed. Have never in 39 years experienced a low so severe as to need medical attention, but of course, have had lows. I test 10 times/day.
She said she just wanted to make sure, ..
I have a follow up appointment with my doctor tomorrow question is is this something that I would have to take medication for regularly while pregnant. I already feel I'm taking too much medication now antibiotics for tooth infection plus tylenol #3 something for nausea prenatal vitamins and now this hypoglycemia. through all this I'm just praying that my baby is healthy.
Make an appointment to see your doctor. Ask your doctor if you can be referred to have a glucose test done and also a blood test to check our liver function.
Make sure that you eat healthily and eat the foods that are slow energy release. Eating the sweets will spike up your sugar very high and it will then immediately plummet down. You want to avoid this happening.
